Valkyrie Might Be The Baddest And Most Gorgeous Plane Ever Made

David Loury isnt a classic-car kind of guy. But when he decided to radically redesign the private plane, he turned to luxury automobilesand their design-forward aestheticfor inspiration. Maserati and Mercedes-Benz were the two main cars I looked at, and I engineered ideas and concepts from them, says the independent aerospace engineer. Those concepts evolved into the Valkyrie: a five-seat, single-piston-engine plane that he calls a high-tech vehicle of the future.
